Try this if you don't want any of the merges listed in git status:

git reset --merge

This resets the index and updates the files in the working tree that are different between and HEAD, but keeps those which are different between the index and working tree (i.e. which have changes which have not been added).

If a file that is different between and the index has unstaged changes -- reset is aborted.
